I personally would not let my children until they are over sixteen, but since I do not live with my five kids in New York, I essentially have no say what happens as their mom is a bit liberal in her dealings with them. Four out of the five have a Facebook page and generally are allowed to...

I can answer that question from my experience with my husky. Lobo, my husky, who we had to put to sleep two years ago was a barker and howler. Huskies tend to be very very vocal. Whether barking or howling. Sheldon only howls when he is alone and voicing his displeasure of that circumstance...

That is one advantage to shaving them. Less shedding to deal with, especially around this time of year. I just combed Shelly out and could have made another dog his size out of the fur...lol

I worked as a kennel tech and a vet tech. One of the things that I learned is to never shave a double coated breed, especially a husky or malamute as not only does the fur protect them from the cold, but also the heat and the sun. Although, they do heat up much much quicker. Also, many will not...

Thank you! In case anyone is wondering he is a Pomsky. Half Husky and half Pomeranian. We haven't been recently and as it gets too hot (mainly for me) the closer it gets to summer here in Central Florida the times we go to the dog park are few and far between till next October or so.

Here is my Sheldon or Shelly for short. Yes, he's named after Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. :lol

Well, the vasectomy is done. Took all of 15 minutes. Went the no needle no scalpel root. Have some discomfort now as the anesthetic wears off, but so far so good.

Thank you for the reply, but I am not willing to take a chance of another pregnancy. In the case of my wife, her "times" are all over the place and can never really be certain. I just need to know if the LCMS considers it to be sin.

I have seven kids, five with an ex-girlfriend during a ten year relationship before I became a Christian and two with my wife (although we are divorcing). Seven is more than enough and I have done my duty of going forth and multiplying. Some may say that is a selfish way of looking at the...

I have done this when I have had the time to listen for the most part, not even then do I hear him. I am not going to do it 5 minutes before I leave for work, that's for sure. How long are we supposed to wait before going about our business? A few hours? Days? Please do not say till you hear...

This isn't to take away from your post as it's a good post. I only wanted to say that not all of us hear God speak to us or feel (lack of a better word) Him comfort us. I know that I never have. As much as I want to hear Him or feel (again lack of a better word) Him comfort me, I never have and...

While I currently live with my parents, before I came here and was living with my wife we didn't have cable. We used a broadcast antenna and Netflix for the longest time. Then last summer I learned about Android TV boxes. Instead of paying the $160+ for the box and setup, I went home and...

So the general consensus is that no, it's not a requirement nor should it be. Thanks!

As I said, I am not looking to get into a discussion of that, so I won't be responding to it beyond this reply.

The only house church near me is over fifty miles away. Most churches around here are Pentecostal or Pentecostal like. The next in line are Baptist churches with their own requirements and then non-Denominational churches which are Baptist light. The rest are a smattering of Catholic, Lutheran...
